Abstract: We aimed by this review paper to focus on discussing different aspects concerning parotidectomy, intended to review evidence about the surgical techniques of this surgical intervention, and then discuss the complications and outcomes following this type of surgery. We searched Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, and CINHAL databases for studies reporting and concerning with parotidectomy that was published in English language and in the period of establishment of these databases up to 2016, December. We used parotidectomy and the following free Mesh terms; “surgical techniques, surgical procedures, indications, outcomes, and complications,”. And we restricted our search to the English-language literature on human subjects. Reference lists were screened manually to find more relevant studies. Surgical methods for salivary gland surgical procedure will continuously develop as new modern technologies develop. A detailed understanding of the disease processes as well as anatomy will certainly remain of extremely important value in the effective medical administration of salivary gland disease. Although a number of records in the literature have actually documented the medical technique, as well as the oncological result attained with parotidectomy, just a few articles have actually explained the problems of parotid gland surgical treatment and also their monitoring. Numerous problems have been reported in parotid surgical treatment.
